This remarkable collection features genuine coins and currency from the era of the Pearl Harbor attack and the Japanese invasion of the Pacific.

The collection includes a $1 Japanese Invasion Note that the Japanese planned to use in the U.S. in place of U.S. currency following a successful invasion – but fortunately it was never needed! It also features a 1943 Penny made of steel instead of copper, a one-year-only coin that is the only U.S. steel coin. Additionally, the collection includes a 1944 Penny made with recycled copper from shell cases recovered from battlefields and ships, and a 1941 Jefferson Nickel issued in the year of the Pearl Harbor attack. Starting in 1942, the Nickel was struck in 35% silver to save nickel for the war effort. These are the only silver Nickels in history, and the short-lived silver coins are identified by a large mint mark on the reverse.
